Doodle Rockstar

Sijin believes that an artistic approach is a path that leaves many options since the art is what it reflects a viewpoint through the chosen colors. He uses the creative medium as catalysts to uncover the true self. Sijin's relationship with creativity started very young when he was inspired by the great Raja Ravi Varma, and MF Hussain. An artist is always in a struggle with perfectionism, and after learning how to cope with the nuance of perfectionism, that's when he decided why. And that is why he is an Artist. He chose this profession because it gives him the power to generate unlimited ideas and possibilities. It is always like coming home to your creative soul. With all the hard work, Sijin is "Thee Designer"
